bbox-tile-server

BBOX tile server

Map tile serving and tile cache seeding.

Features:

• Vector tile server (Source: PostGIS)
• Raster tile server (Backends: QGIS Server and MapServer)
• Tile proxy server (Backends: WMS)
• OGC API - Tiles Core
• XYZ vector tiles with TileJSON metadata
• OGC WMTS (via map service backend)

Tile seeder features:

• Parallelized seeding of raster and vector tiles
• Storage Backend: S3 - optimized for tile transfer
• Storage Backend: Local files

Configuration

See Documentation for examples.

Usage

Run tile server with bbox.toml configuration:

# Reduce log output for testing
export BBOX_MAPSERVER__NUM_FCGI_PROCESSES=1
cargo run serve

Tile requests:

curl -o /tmp/tile.png http://localhost:8080/xyz/ne_extracts/2/2/2.png

curl -o /tmp/tile.png http://localhost:8080/xyz/ne_umn/2/2/2.png

Seeding

Relase Build:

cargo build --release

Seed with proxy WMS:

../target/release/bbox-tile-server seed --tileset=gebco --tile-path=/tmp/tiles/gebco --maxzoom=2

Seed with embedded map service:

../target/release/bbox-tile-server seed --tileset=ne_extracts --tile-path=/tmp/tiles/ne_extracts --maxzoom=2

Seed PostGIS MVT tiles:

../target/release/bbox-tile-server seed --tileset=ne_countries --tile-path=/tmp/tiles/ne_countries --maxzoom=2

Seed to S3 storage

See performance.md for a local S3 test setup.

Set S3 env vars:

export S3_ENDPOINT_URL="http://localhost:9000"
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=miniostorage
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=miniostorage

Seed raster tiles:

../target/release/bbox-tile-server seed --tileset=ne_extracts --s3-path=s3://tiles --maxzoom=5

Using Maputnik for MVT styling

• Download latest public.zip from https://github.com/maputnik/editor/releases
• Unpack into ../assets/ and rename public to maputnik
